With Valentineâs Day falling on a Friday this time, it actually can prove to be quite the task for us men to look dapper for a dinner date right after work. Where do we look for some quick and practical style inspirations, which we can cop without much effort? To our celebrities, of course!

And, as if just on cue, Rana Daggubati just dropped one of the best desk-to-dinner outfit. Basically, an ensemble that would sit perfect, both in a corporate office, as well as a fancy restaurant.

Rana was spotted in a sublime ensemble that comprised of a white, mandarin collared shirt and a collarless waistcoat. Paired with a slightly bleached denim jeans and driving loafers, the ensemble was a simple, and yet elegant masterpiece.

The upper half of the outfit, mainly the shirt and the waistcoat, are sublime. The pocket square, just peeking out of the pocket, is also a nice touch and elevates the waistcoat by a mile. A very basic move of accessorising a rather too formal an outfit, pocket squares can lend that touch of zaniness and quirkiness that some basic and sombre colours scream for.

Although Rana went for the more conventional manner of getting a pocket square that matches the colour of his shirt, experimenting with colours and prints are actually a dope way to spruce up your outfit.

The addition of the rather chunky watch, which appears to be a Hublot, is also a deft touch that uplifts the outfit.

The lower half of the ensemble, as basic and simple as it is, is a classic way to go about the semi-casual way. We particularly like the driving loafers that Ranaâs wearing. The buckle and the looped laces make an interesting embellishment and adds character to the shoes.

Thanks to his tall and lean physique, the ensemble, overall looks rather swell on Rana. Honestly, if ever there was an outfit that would be perfect for an after-work party, or an after-work date, this would be it, especially, if its casual Fridays at the office.

Just keep a few things in mind if you plan to go out wearing something like this, and youâll look dapper AF:

Select your colours wisely. Go for a light and solid coloured shirt and darker shades for the trousers, and waistcoat.

In case you donât have a waistcoat, go for a bandi.

Avoid prints, especially florals. Remember, this is a DESK to dinner outfit. You donât want to end up as the laughing stock of the office.

Chinos are a great substitute for jeans, as far as this ensemble is considered. 

Pay attention to your shoes. Tan coloured oxfords or monk straps are also a great way to go.

Coming back to Rana, we are all praise for the outfit. Seriously man, take a bow.
